Probably not! It's not just the turbo that makes the power, but the sum of it's
parts!

You will spend twice as much to get an old L20B to even get close to the
SR20DET, so if you are just throwing money at the car just to keep an antique
design in there, go ahead! ;-)

I'm assuming that you are willing to spend more money on the motor than the car
is practically worth, right? I would guess that $5000 might get you that motor,
by the time you get all the trick stuff to make it do that. It's hard to beat
new technology! ;-)
